Of Unrealistic Ambitions

Since you were born
Raised to believe
That one day you'll be the one
But time has moved
No mother's kid
But from the big cake you get none
You're waiting behind, moving in the wake
Of the sharp and the strong
You're waiting for one single chance to move up
When some of them goes wrong
And time has come
To take your chance
To score before they can defend
You hesitate
You realize
All you can be is helping hand
You find yourself looking at all your dreams
Of the glory and the grace
Responsibility that comes with all this
Is not what you dare to face
Your reflection in the mirror
Just a sad grin of dream hero
And so have you learned where you stand
Where you can find the way
If you can't be the one
How to get your share of sun...
It's never a shame to know where is the line
How far to go, how much to make
To understand your own limits and your strength
Lift only weight that you can take
Respect your achievements
Small as they may feel
Better be a dreamer
Than to be a bad king
Beware of self-pity
Be proud of yourself
Everyone's unique
So don't try to be someone else
And so have you learned where you stand
Where you can find the way
If you can't be the one
How to get your share of sun...
Wipe the tears from your face
Try run your own race
Look around and take the sum
There is sun for everyone
